Oak Hill Grange was organized twelve
years ago, and has ever been power
for good in its vicinity, nobly exempli-
flying the principles of the Order by the
unity and harmony that has ever gov
erned all its business transactions and
social gatherings; also by the brotherly
love and charity that has always eX-
listed among It's members. The Grange
owns a fine hall and store, one of the
best in the State, and the past winter
t efforts of the members have been at
tended with more than usual success.
At their last regular meeting twenty
five candidates were given the first and
second degrees, and several other names
proposed for membership. This Grange
now numbers about one hundred and
twenty, including many wealthy and
influential farmers of Scarboro with
their families. Weekly meetings are
held, and an interesting and profitable
programme prepared and carried out at
each meeting, very pleasant feature Of
which is paper written and edited by
the members of the Order.-N. Fl. Scar

AN INCREASING EsT.-Among the un-
slightly objects which meet the eye of
the tidy orchardist, none are more dis
gushing than the nests of the fall Web
Worms, Hyphantrsa teztor, Harris, which
are TO be seen as early as the middle of
july and on through the remainder of
the season, upon the apple trees, shrub
berry and shade trees. Oflate years this
caterpillar has been on the increase in
New England till now no insect which
infests our orchards-if we except the
canker worm-plays so destructive a
part the last half of the season as the
Fall Web-Worms.
In speaking of the Web-Worm, many
confound it with the tent caterpillar,
but this, although related to the same
family, belongs to different class. Be-
sides this, the Web-Worm appears in a
different season of the year, after the
tent caterpillar has left the stage of ac-
ton.
REMEDIES: The most feasible plan 20
destroy this pest seems to be to watch
for the dried appearance of the leaves
and as soon as the presence of colony
of these caterpillars is thus indicated,
remove the branch containing them and
destroy them by burning or crushing.
When the worms are small and it is
difficult to reach them, swab, attached
to pole, dipped in Kerosene and thrust
into the nest will destroy them.

BEEF RoLL.-Two pounds of round
beef chopped fine, two soda crackers
rolled, one egg, salt and pepper; mix all
three together with the hand, and make
into roll; cut gashes on the top OF the
roll, and stick in bits of butter. Bake
one-half hour; try with knife, and if
blood comes, bake little longer. Pour
the gravy that is in the pan over the
meat, and set away to cool. This is very
nice sliced thin for tea.

IMPROVING MEADows.-The truth is
now making way that meadow lands
require their fertility to be as much
studied as titled soils. Indeed when the
grasses commence to get thin and
dwarfish-when irrigation, too. fails,
something is wrong with the soil. 1t
wants potash and nitrogen, or it may
I'm addition be sour. If the latter, coui-
mence by drainage and fresh Innings;
next, apply fertilizers-such as potash,
or boDe.dust, singly, or i'm the proper
ton Of two of kainit and one of the
bone-dust. This dosing will not only
augment the yield, but the quality of
the grass. There was time when pot
ash alone was relied on as sufficient
top-dressing for pastures; it was con-
cluded meadows contained sufficiency
of the other elements Of plant-nutrition.
This belief has been Of late shaken by
the failure of potash to act as heal all,
because when phOsphates are added the
efficacy of potash becomes developed;
proof that phosphoric acid was wanting,
and when combined with an alkali, the
best action of both stinulants was OBJ
tanned.

With tie prospect of paying this roy
atty of from five to ten millions of dol
lars staring them in the face, one would
think that every farmer in the Nation
would at once unite with an organize
tion like the Grange, that for years past
has been trying to have our unfair pat
ent laws so amended that the manufac-
turers ofarticles that are patent nfringe-
ments shall alone be held responsible,
and not the innocent purchaser who
pays full price for the machine, drive
well or whatever the article may be, not
knowing of the patent, or perhaps being
assured that the royalties, etc., have
been paid. If every farmer was in the
Grange, where he belongs, the law
which permits this levying of millions
of dollars tax upon farmers from time
to time, Of which this drive well is only
one Instance of many, would be stricken
from our statue books before the adj
jOurnment of the next Congress. Farm
ers, think on this.

Men who'think the Grange has "died

ments OF any other association of farm
ers in all the centuries of civilization.
